Bugatti has released a tantalizing video showcasing the sound of the carbon fiber-bathed V16 engine, fueling speculation about its specifications. While official details are being kept under wraps, hints from company officials suggest that the combustion engine, possibly developed by Cosworth, could boast an immense 8.3-liter displacement. Some sources even speculate that the engine might be naturally aspirated, a feature suggested by the video's high-revving soundtrack. Reports suggest a breathtaking 9,000 rpm, coupled with three electric motors, resulting in a combined output of a staggering 1,800 horsepower. However, enthusiasts are advised to approach these details with caution, as Bugatti is expected to reveal more information leading up to the official debut in June.
